Understand Common Requirements for North American Amazon - UL Testing
The United States is a country with very stringent safety requirements. Many years ago, all electronic product manufacturers within the U.S. were required to undergo relevant safety regulations inspections. As Amazon's strategic position in global commerce continues to rise, electronic devices from overseas are flooding into the U.S. market through Amazon. However, there is no mandatory safety regulation inspection for overseas electronic product manufacturers. A series of electronic product fire incidents have occurred, and in response, U.S. authorities have issued a specific law targeting e-commerce, mandating that Amazon notify foreign e-commerce sellers on its platform to provide relevant safety reports. Amazon must order sellers to cease sales if they have not submitted a UL-standard inspection report. Additionally, the inspection report must be a qualified report issued by a laboratory recognized under ISO/17025/ILAC ISO 17025 standards. Amazon UL report, ISO/17025 authorized body

The severe consequences of not having a North American safety report for electronic equipment are not being blocked by Amazon, but rather being targeted by competitors. If a competitor purchases the seller's products and the products lack the necessary safety reports, they can hire a U.S. lawyer to send a letter to Amazon, demanding the cessation of selling the company's products and initiating legal proceedings to destroy all of the company's products on Amazon. At this point, the seller not only loses all inventory but also incurs the costs of the lawyer's letter and the destruction of the products, which could mean the company is virtually expelled from the North American market.
